The blacksmiths workshop at Fort Mifflin, Philadelphia during the Revolutionary War. Many haunting occurrences have been reported on this spot and elsewhere on the forts grounds where many men have died. The blacksmiths spirit still lurks inside...

The blacksmith has a lot of work as he has to make the knives, the spears, and the jewels for the village.
He is not taboo or this kind of things, like in many tribes.
The Samburu is closely related to the Maasai.
Like the Maasai, they live in the central Rift Valley area of Kenya, where the climate is semi-arid.
They are seminomadic and belong to the Maa (Nilotic) speaking group of people. They do very little farming. Their livelihood depends upon the cattle, sheep and goats they raise. They use their milk more than meat. They often drink milk mixed with cow's blood. So, like their neighbours, they have to search for water and grazing land which leads them out from their homes during dry seasons. The Samburu live in huts made of branches, mud and cow dung. There is usually one big room that is very low in height. Around it, there is a fence made of thorn bushes, in which the cattle is kept at night. Most Samburu still wear traditional dress. Like the Maasai, women wear colorful beaded necklaces similar to the ones the Rendile women wear. The number of necklaces is a sign of wealth, often given as dowry. They wear bright clothes, usually red and pink. To protect their eyes from the sun, Samburu warriors (like the Rendile) often paste their hair with ochre which creates a visor.
Samburu are very spiritual people, believing and praying daily to the God they call Ngai. Age determines men's social status: each man has to go through various stages before becoming a powerful elder. Circumcision marks the boy’s transition to a young warrior, while girls excision is performed on the day of marriage (usually at 16 years old).

To the Avalonia guild on EB
Weyland the smith owns this blacksmith that is in the great capital of Avalonia, Albion. His skills is not into making swords, Weyland is Avalonia best man to shoe the horses and to repair all kind of carts. His cousin Quinlan also works in the blacksmith. Today he is shoing a horse while Weyland fixes a carts wheel.
Inspiration comes from ZCerberus on EB. A great builder in my eyes!
The group of figures "Schmied mit Knabe", created in 1901 by J. Hammerschmidt, is a relic of the Molke memorial, which was located on Heinrich-Heine-Allee. "Jong, jangk en de Aldestadt on hol mech fönef Alt." [Boy, go to the old town and get me five beers.] This anecdotal statement of the blacksmith is derived from his finger position.
The cross-shaped base is intended to commemorate the destruction of the monument and the victims of the war.

We had a drier day today and visited the Welsh museum at St Fagans. There was no internal lighting so I used an iso of 6400 to get 1/60 f2.8 for this picture.
This shot was taken at Rancho De Las Golondrinas at their Harvest Festival. I thought the black and white rendition better focused ones eye on the subject than the color rendition.
"In a village near a river the blacksmith settled down, to provide the kingdom with magically crafted tools and weapons. Not only did he use the power of fire to make the metal glow, but he also harnessed the power of water, which was far stronger than his pure muscles. Only in winter, when the river sometimes froze over and the blacksmith had to clear the ice from the mill wheel, did his forging work stop briefly, but otherwise it was his greatest treasure and advantage."

By the way, the inspiration for the type of hammer that the blacksmith uses here is a trip hammer: (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_hammer)
